Is everyone freezing? Down in Sc here I’m so cold I can’t describe it. Coming from Ohio but being here 2 1/2 yrs, I think my body changed. I can’t tolerate the cold anymore...it was 29 degrees this AM and the horses water trough was frozen.

Yesterday was somewhat pleasant so I took a ride with Waylon and my dog and at the end of the trail I came across two feral pigs....scared me to death.......gosh were they big.

Yeah, we've been below freezing here for longer than I ever remember. We usually get a couple of days below freezing in February, but then it warms back up and gives you a break. My "frost free" faucet at the barn is frozen down in the ground, so I had to drag my 150 gallon stock tank all the way from the barn to the corner of the pasture closest to my BIL's house and run hoses from his frost free faucet on the back of the house to fill it up. That gave me a couple of days of leeway, since I've got a heater on it, but when I went to refill it today the OTHER faucet was frozen. But it's supposed to warm up next week and I think I have enough water to last until then. If not, I guess I'll be hauling it in barrels in the back of the truck from somewhere else. NOT my idea of fun! It ain't supposed to BE this way down here! {Whine!}

We’ve got wild pigs all over the Forest down here too. They’re absolutely tearing the place up. We very seldom see them though, just their sign. Be careful if you come up on a sow with her babies. They would just as soon gut you as look at you. They’ve declared open season on them around here, but a friend of mine lost all but one of his hunting dogs to one boar when he went hunting them, even though they had kevlar vests on. They’re MEAN!
